When I started this journey a couple of months ago I had no idea what to expect. I had no idea if I would be any good at running…more importantly I wasn’t sure I would tough it out. You see that is what I sometimes do when things get tough…I quit, give up and walk […]

Exciting news! Running Room called me today and said the wonderful words ‘Your new Brooks sneakers have arrived’. I’ve waited awhile for them because they had to be special ordered for my wide feet. I pretty much RAN to the Running Room from work on my lunch. I’ve had a lot of trouble finding the perfect […]

Confidence. It’s what attracts people. It’s what gets you opportunities. It makes what you do impactful. Most importantly, confidence makes YOU believe that YOU are enough. Nobody is good at everything, but everybody’s good at something (cue t-rex impression). I was not good at running. I blamed it on a lot of things. My lungs […]

Training is getting pretty darn real these days. We are at the point that I think if I was asked to run the 10k tomorrow, I could probably pull it off (with much difficulty..but still). In the past few weeks, training has gone from seemingly easy to quite difficult. We’re adding a lot more time […]

In the past, I would take up a new activity to attempt to get in shape, give it 110% for the first month or so, then it would taper off until I was no longer committed. I tried a lot of things – running, fitness classes, hot yoga, working out on my own, I even […]

Saturday was run # 3 with Team Myles. It was by far the most challenging and the most rewarding run yet. Shoe Mountain: The day started out with our team donating gently used athletic shoes and new socks for the Shoe Mountain kick off at Mic Mac Mall. For anyone who is unaware of what Shoe […]

If the hill had eyes, it would see a bunch of shivery, nervous Team Myles members who have only heard about the craziness that is Tuesday hills night. It would see us all bundled up in our gear, supported by our mentors and our fabulous assistant coach Cindy (look her up on social media: Finding Fierce […]

I want to start by explaining how incredibly grateful I am to be on Team Myles 2016. I’m sure lots of people can relate to my story, as it’s really not that uncommon. I used to be fit, I horseback rode and ran for fun in my spare time. But, like many students, my health […]

I found out about Team Myles while volunteering with Junior Achievement’s Company Program where I was lucky enough to be paired up as volunteer Company Program Advisor with Paige Hoveling (Team Myles 2014 Ambassador and Team Myles 2015 Mentor). I met Paige during her first year with Team Myles, when she was an Ambassador. I remember […]

So, this weekend Team Myles headed to Mic Mac Mall to kick-off Shoe Mountain and Socks for Soles. It was great to help celebrate such a good initiative and lots of folks arrived with gently used shoes and new socks in-hand! We also got our AMAZING Team Myles shirts from our friends at The Running […]
